One of the best videos I've seen utilizing a china skid. Nice to see one putting in real work so we can see what they can do. I knew as soon as you speared into the pile the first time and heard it grunt that I was going to watch the whole video and sub. Thanks!
@@haulintrash I had a log come out of a grapple bucket at full extension while in a Tak T12, smashing the window. Honestly, that 12,000-pound machine was barely enough for loading the truck and trailer I was using. It's totally my fault, but stuff happens. Stay safe, my friend.

Thanks! It really has been a great little machine! Hasn't let me down yet!
Grapple paid for itself in this one video.
@@mikedesilets3324 Man, did it ever! Awesome little tool!
@haulintrash I can't believe to size of logs it was handling.
@@mikedesilets3324 I was pretty surprised myself! It handled way more weight than I thought it could!
Maybe build a small ramp to drive up it. That would drive me nuts having to push it out
@jonboyer4058 yeah, it can get a bit annoying, but it's so much better than loading by hand, it's worth it!
Great video. I think I would prefer loading logs over my head from the comfort of a caged skid steer.
@@guzziman100 That’s a good point, but the way the grapple closes and opens I think it would be impossible for a log to roll off the back.

@@guzziman100 I'll stay on my toes for sure!
What size grapple im looking at getting the 36" or 42" myself, there both the same price
@@LA_STi I believe mine is 39" wide.
@haulintrash Awesome,Thank you
Who makes this machine
@jtrocktree5409 It's a "MachPro" but I really don't know who makes it. It's Chinese, so probably one company makes several "brands"!
